Be Grateful

Everyone in this world always wants more. If they have only seven working tentacles, they want eight. If they have all eight, they wish one of them were the autonomously stinging kind. If they see someone with a large holo-brood, they want one for themselves. Why can’t we just be happy with what we have? As for me, I have only a dozen hunter-mates to float through the timestream with, but do I consider myself unlucky? No way. I mean, some of my friends never even telepathically pair-bonded with the rest of their hive! What I’m saying is, be grateful.
